A Sunny Saturday in Chehalis

This video documents a Saturday visit to the town of Chehalis, WA. There is footage of Union Pacific, BNSF, and Amtrak locomotives. I also do a little exploring around the town and end up filming a slight mishap at a railroad crossing.
Thanks to the Chehalis VRF community for helping me identify the train symbols.

Ah my old stomping grounds! I've spent so many afternoons there railfanning. Unfortunately, I moved cross-country a few years ago so I can't railfan there anymore, so thanks for sharing this. Fun fact: The platform you're standing on and the isolated sections of rusty track in the foreground were part of the long-defunct Cowlitz Chehalis and Cascade Railroad, and the Chehalis Centralia Railroad Museum nearby own 2-8-2 number 15 which was operated by the line. The CC&C was abandoned in 1955, so those tracks are pretty old.

As one of the Virtual Station Agent’s for the Chehalis cam, Thank you for the mention. Maybe the next time your at the cam, you could show the cams and mention our trainsheet and talk about it some to let others know about it. You have a new sib from me.

Nice catches and entertaining. Thanks

The UP garbage train at 15:25 is the OGLPS. It’s a train that goes from Gilliam Oregon to the PSAP railroad in Chehalis. BNSF crews take it to Centralia from Portland. I work for the Union Pacific as a conductor

Well done. Hope you can catch the track side carrot washing when it happens again.

I watch the VR in chehalis often, since it's the closest camera to my city. This was fun, seeing what happens around town. Chehalis has the best classic car sightings.

This video gives an interesting ground-level POV relative to the above-line VRF cam. Cool bucket-T crossing the tracks(?). This town offers a lot for the model railroader.

It was good to see a little more around Chehalis, a neat little town. The film work was good as well as the narration. I love it when people put themselves out there for us to see. Anyone can set up a tripod and sit. Great video!

There’s not too many Amtrak trains

[@grandriverrailfan6088]

6:38, DPUs also provide braking assistance by giving the train automatic braking from locomotives throughout the train. Doing that decrease the train’s stopping distance.

Very good video, but trying to imitate Pentrex narration is kind of annoying.

[@philfrizzell4571]

Too many amtraks
